Here is what some of it say [quote:963d0]General political views from my Viennese time I are today the conviction that the man is to work generally, cases of completely special gift excluded, not his thirtieth year ago in the policy publicly. It is not this, since into this time inside mostly only the education of a general platform takes place, from which it checks now the different political problems and determines its own position to them finally. Only after winning such a fundamental world view and the steadiness of the own viewpoint in relation to the individual questions of the daily, achieved by it, or may now the man developed at least internally is to take part in the political guidance of the community. If this is different, then it runs the risk, a daily its past position in substantial questions either modifies to have or against his better knowing and detecting with an opinion stop, which understanding and conviction reject already long. In the first case it is very embarrassingly for it personal this since he now, when varying, also right may not expect any longer that the faith of its trailers belongs to it in same imperturbable firmness as heretofore; for of it the leading however means such fall down the leader embarrassment as well as the feeling of a certain shaming so far from them not rarely fought opposite. In the second case however occurs, which we so often see particularly today: in evenly the measure, in which the leader does not believe no more in from it the saying, becomes its en { 072 the politician } teidigung hollow and flat, but however commonly in the selection of the means. While it does not remember any longer, for its political revealing seriously to occur (one does not die for somewhat, in which one does not believe), the request continue to increase to pure trailers however in evenly this relation and more impudent, until it sacrifices finally the last remainder of the leader, in order to land with the " politician "; that is called paired with that sort of humans, whose only real convicition is the Gesinnungslosigkeit, with impudent importunateness and an often shameless developed art of the lie. Such Bur comes then to the misfortune of decent mankind also still into a parliament, then one is to know already from the outset that the nature of the policy exists for him only in the heroischen fight for the continuing possession of this milchflasche of its life and his family. The more then woman and child at it hang, the more toughly it for his mandate will argue. Each other humans with political instincts are alone already thereby its personal enemy; in each new motion it probably wittert the possible beginning of its end and in each larger man of this again threatening danger. I will speak on this sort of parliament bugs still thoroughly to come. Also the dreissigjaehrige one will have to learn still much in the course of its life, however it will be this only a supplement and a filling out of the framework, which the basically assumed world view submits to it. Its learning will be no more Umlernen in principle, but a Hinzulernen, and its trailers will have had to down-choke not the beklommene feeling, by him have been so far falsely informed, but in the opposite: evident organic waxes of the leader satisfaction will grant them, since its learning means only the recess of their own teachings. This however is in its eyes a proof for the correctness of their past opinions. { 073 political thinking } leader, that actually concerns the platform of its general world view, because as falsely detected, must leave, with behaviour only if it is ready in the realization of its past incorrect insight the last consequence to pull. It must in such trap at least the public practice of a further political operation renounce. Because since it expired to a mistake already once in fundamental realizations, the possibility also a second time is given. In no case however it has still the right to take further the confidence up of the fellow citizens or to require such. As is corresponded a little now however today to such a behaviour, testified only the general rejectingness of the luggage, which feels destined at present, in politics " makes ". Chosen to it one hardly is from them. I had once guarded to occur somehow publicly although I believed, me more with politics to have employed than so many different. Only in smallest sets I spoke of what moved or attracted me internally. This speaking in the closest framework had much property for itself: I became acquainted with so probably fewer " to talk ", but however humans in their often infinitely primitive opinions and objections. I trained myself without losing time and possibility, for own further training. The opportunity in addition was not surely anywhere in Germany as favorable as at that time in Vienna.
